FCL
500 hrs a year!! things have looked up since my days.
Went the police helo/freight route to a proper airline myself.
Freighters fly at night for the most part in older aircraft. I found the F27 a great start to fixed wing ops, but could not adjust to nocturnal life. A year and I was utterly bolloxed.
But, in these trying times, freight always seems to grow regardless of the vagaries of the airlines.
You pays yer money...... Good luck
